Part of the reason there has never been a big movie, is that Terry has been reluctant to sell the rights to Hollywood. Rumour has it that there was one a plan to make Mort into a movie, but the producer was talking about getting rid of Death . . .

Since then Terry has been very selective about who would make a movie and make a faithful adaptation. There was talk of Terry Gilliam doing one for a long time, but it never happened.

Terry revealed in Brighton the other week, his own production company, Narrativia, are well into drafting the first scripts for the Watch series. Also 'Good Omens' (which I think Tony was alluding to) and 'Dodger' are also in the pipeline.

The difference between fiction and reality? Fiction has to make sense.
